Speed does matter, and it affects all systems, but i think the suckless
codebases are small enough that there shouldn't be an apparent
difference.

git's architecture is is nicely layered so that one can use very
lowlevel stuff but one also can combine it to more comfortable tools
like git does it. The bloat you are talking about is mostly in small
scripts that are layered above git core functionality. And mercurial
does have many "bloat" and plugins in its core distribution as well. And
i think every suckless-alarm-bell should ring when you merely can hear
the word python ;)
